7. One unanimous verdict
lying to the FBI. Big flop for Fitzgerald. Maximum five years and $250,000 fine.

12. I love how the conviction is being compared to Martha's.
Makes it even more petty.

3. My prediction:
He'll get a short sentence..

they will not re-try him on the other charges.. (costs too much)

The state just wants to make an example of him and to smack him around a little..

He'll "go away" for a while & will re-emerge later & write a book

4. My guess? Convicted on a couple of lesser charges. No jail time. The rest deadlocked.

8. Deadlocked on 23
Unanimous on lying to FBI - major division among jurors - huge flop for Fitzgerald and the prosecution.
Ah well there goes the mosque debate. :rofl:

9. This is it
Tomorrow Lady Blah Blah will try to upstage the current governor of Alaska at the Stevens funeral - that too should be fun.

6. I would hazard a guess that he'll be found innocent of a large majority of the charges.
